I know that this is a few years ago Meredith after my mother passed in spring 1996 dad asked us boys to come over and help him we grew up in a two story house. Any way I was a firefighter and tones went out and it’s was my parents house fully envolved burned down to basement. Nobody was home neighbor called it in home was built in 30’s household of 13 kids lost everything. My dad passed in 2006 and I went to drive truck school six weeks and left to the over the road driving. Anyway it brought tears to my eyes when you spoke of your parents and dad asked you and your brother to help clean attic ❤️❤️💋🌹🌹🌹🌹
We would bake our squirrels in sage dressing. When I was young I would hunt our black walnut and our chess nut acreage then come home with at least 10 squirrels. I would clean them then mom took over. I took a small pump and a football needle to get the skin off. Our family loved them baked. Still miss the farm. Hard work but, you sure slept good after sun set and supper. As you know I was from Wisconsin using supper for dinner. You can take the boy off the farm but you can not take the farm out of the boy!! God bless and Merry Christmas to you and family!!
When I was a young boy we had to have commodity food government cheese ,peanut butter, powder milk, Grits. So when I went hunting and fishing my mother always cooked everything I brought home, and was thankful. I lost my mother 32 years ago ,it would like somebody dug my heart out with a spoon, I love her and I miss her. Love seeing you cooking squirrel for your son.
The squirrel in your cast iron frying pan look soooo good. Glad your son harvested, skinnned and cleaned his own squirrel. Then you made a yummy meal for him. You are a good mother.
I like your videos.. @6:06 nice stool.. I had a stool for my daughter many moons ago that said "This little stool is mine, I use it all the time, to reach the things I couldn't, and lots of things I shouldn't.." thanks for the walk down memory lane, Meredith.. :)
I am not to sure, if you have heard the expression ' your one in a million ' but you make my day, you make me laugh, which is good for the heart, and mind, soul! Thank you again for your videos, I am slowly catching up!
Love watching you and the faces and gestures you make too cute and love that southern accent been to long since I’ve heard it my family is from Arkansas but most have passed now! I did live in Goldsboro NC when I was young and my friends grandma used to make fried chicken and squirrel for Sunday dinner mmmm 😊
Dale Lewis lol nope. Been this way for years and transmission has been overhauled twice. It’s just gonna die one day and that’s that. Can’t figure out what’s wrong with it 😛
@@dalelewis1016 the day that all states require inspections I will start driving pre emission vehicles. Only because 90% of the vehicles out there have the check engine light on. It's usually do to the O2 sensor and system which will throw a code if there is even a small pinhole somewhere in the system causing that dang light to come on. I used to be an auto tech. I hung up my tools when there started being more computers operating the runability of a vehicle, and I'm sorry but computers hate heat, So when you have 4 to 6 computers in the engine compartment your asking for failure.
I really enjoyed Vlog 34. My goodness, it’s such a pity to see so much rainfall again, coupled with low temperatures. Brrrr!! Your February Summer may have gone, but the Spring-cleaning bug is biting! We all are so guilty of cluttering and struggling to let go of the past. We share your struggle 100%. Rounding up calves with a tractor, is like attempting to brush water up an incline, - impossible. Again, thank you for sharing the ups and downs of your daily life, that we all experience in our daily lives, in one form or another.
The best part of the squirrel is the back straps. We always boiled em, and fried em in Butter but now days, I'm gonna use the Instapot , instead of just boiling. Years ago, I was squirrel hunting in a neighbors pasture and saw a pile of somebodies garbage. I guess somebody thought that was a good place to get rid of the junk they didn't want anymore. 😞 Of course I had to look thru it, and I found a small pressure cooker. Everything was there including the seal and weight. I took it home, cleaned it up and used it to cook squirrel in. 🙂
Hi Meredith. Mum used to cook wild pidgeon that I shot when I was a kid . Beautiful. Hey let your husband know I'm in the thick finger family ....fishing line or small screws aren't my friend. Ahh the cleanup. We moved a year ago and boy that helps a lot. Roughly 2pm and about 33c. Nearby towns are up to 40c clear skies and no rain in sight. Thanks and Hi to all your family.
My grandmother's in the 60' and 70' used to cook squirrel, raccoon, possum and ground hog for my grandfather's. People in the Appalachian mountains had grown up really living off the land. My how times have changed!
I think I told ya I lost my Mom this last Christmas , she always called em baaugin so it warmed my heart ! Don't let give ya a hard time ! Lol snowing here ! Jealous ! Take care, Joe
Parboil 30min, batter and fry. Good stuff. Squirrel was the main stay for longhunters n the east pre revolution. Hard to find a deer and turkey every day. Awsome vid, awsome lady.
Squirrel is pretty good. I remember as a kid my Grandpa would take me hunting and we would always come back with several of these. He would fry some up. Then another nite would have some squirrel and dumpling. It has been several years since I have had any squirrel. Our season won’t open till May 15 so may have to get out and get a few
Oh yes squirrel is some kind of good. My baby girl loves it calls it chicken. Now that I have got older my eyes are not as good to see the squirrels any more. It is good to see kids into things like that. Good job young man on the kill. Y'all have a blessed night.
Gotta say I love those the handmade ornaments, you keep them some day you babies will want them for their tree. My grandson Blake likes squirrel. Lol we are way up north in Alberta .
You could become a great Sunday School teacher and give those cute little hand sewn Christmas ornaments to kids or take them to a old folks home. Visits from you would really bless old folks in a home.
Ive watched a lot of farming videos on youtube and i stumbled across yours while its rainy day and i will have to say out of all the youtube I've watched over the years I've never binge watch anyone before keep it simple like your doing and never change your style its great!
Oh wow, what an awesome compliment! Thank you! Glad I could keep you entertained today. We are supposed to get rain next two days. What part of NC are you in?
@@ThisFarmWife_ Im in the north western part hour west of Winston Salem 15 minutes from the Virginia line near a little town called Elkin. You know the middle of no where.
@@ThisFarmWife_ small world aint that something the dry part i think is impossible raining again today i know when the rain does finally stop im going to spend a fortune in grass seed and gas to pressure wash my equipment that is now all one color.
Yup! Squirrel is good. And Free! ;) Im trying to feel sorry for you with your mud but im too busy trying to figure out where to keep piling my snow! Lol. Take care!
I know all too well about the hard part of "purging" through literally old stuff as they have such Wonderful Memories of me and my siblings growing up.....I LOVED your "idea" about HOW to handle the difficulties in purging too....Your Baby bites along with my Baby Steps eventually allow BOTH of us to "Get It Done"....LOL.....Cheers From Ohio Miss Meredith and Family!!
I don't think the rain will ever stop on us here in NC. Yes Mam more coming! I call them toboggans also. I use to love squirrel in my younger days but now I lost my taste for them. Try and stay dry as ya can over there and hope you have a great rest of the week!
when I was a kid my dad always wanted dumplings and squirrels.thats what he got.lol.i just love Austin's funny come backs.she's going to be a clone of you.
What you call a toboggan is know as a toque up here. A toboggan around here is a like sleigh with a flat bottom. Interesting how words mean different things in different areas.
I grew up on fried squirrel and rabbit. We would have mashed potato's and gravy to go with it. Nothing tasted better to a house full of hungry youngsters.
Though I like the Instagram stuff you post, I always enjoy the more drawn out you tube videos, very good as always love following your adventures, hearing your always unique way of looking at things
Thanks for saying so Tony! It's kind of nice to be able to share different ways. I still think it's funny people put up with my ramblings on here, but I'm having fun!
You are so funny and delightful!! You remind me of the days of my youth, There is a back story to that. 😊 I just started following you on Instagram...not a stalker just a fan and admire you and your family
No, I appreciate you following me here and there! It's a great way for me to share in different ways and I'm glad you can relate. Thanks for being here (and there. ) ;)

Proud of ya trying some squirrel. Squirrel is sooo good. Squirrel gravy and biscuits is also awesome. Just boil the squirrel until it falls off the bone, then de-bone it, and cut it into smaller pieces, make gravy and put the squirrel meat in, then make biscuits and your good to go.
9 yrs spence my dad passed I had to move out of our garage shop we had. Most of my. Tools ended up at my home in a 16 x 20 garage...well it's been a time to go throw out or sift through it an make the space workable again...yea I feel your pain.... Oh an Thais some fine viddles your son provided...cook on sweet farm wife.. 🐿🐿
Our mud is a different color but just as deep. It will quit raining about the time we need it. When I saw the thumbnail I got all excited and realized it said puddles and not pudding. 50 degrees and raining a warm bowl of fresh banana pudding would hit the spot
Not squirrel but here's an idea that my mom learned it's fairly quick and easy. Make a skillet of Milk gravy and mix in a couple of cans of potted meat and serve over toast breakfast, lunch, or supper. Also calf liver and onions cooked in bacon grease.with rice is also great
Was raised up hunting Squirrel , Rabbit & Groundhog and still would be eating it if i lived in the country and i always added equal parts Flour and Cornmeal for the coating and is fantastic with Gravy and smashed taters and you should be proud of your son for trying any wild game that he hasn't tried before and my hope is that there are many many more family's in our country that are instilling the values that ya'll have with yours and the one lesson my Dad tough us Boys growing up was if you are willing to shoot an Animal you better be willing to skin and eat it and we never had a problem with that because we were fairly poor growing up
Thanks for the video Meredith. My wife wouldn't even let me bring the squirrel in the house, much less cook it for me. The only way she would fix it for me is if it came from an 'organic' store and she couldn't tell what it was. Thanks for being the true 'Farm Wife!'
My wife came home and I was cleaning one on the island in kitchen! She threw me out of house, then told me to come back and get this "thing" off her countertop!
Crock pot them squirrels pour broth and squirrel through strainer to get bones. Sort bones out put meat and broth back in crock pot and put in some dumplings. Tasty tasty tasty!!! (Add some chopped celery for flavor)
@@ThisFarmWife_ Think how the animals must feel out in this. We complain about all this rain yet we can stay dry. Poor little creatures are water logged
I'm so sick of rain I've been wanting to plant some food plots for turkeys and deer and cant . You had all that 80 stuff in them boxes first thing that hit me was white rain hair spray girls used back then lol. Was that a fox squirrel or grey . I was raised on fried squirrel and biscuits and gravy nothing no better and that looked so good. You did a good job cooking it to.
I never ate squirrel, but I guess anything can be ate when you cook it in grease, cover it in butter, or put enough chocolate over it!! I hear folks talk about how good rattle snake is!! Gonna have to take their word for It! There was a show on tv awhile back. A fellow named Bear Grylls (or something like that) would travel the world, getting himself dropped in survival situations, and eat things that would make a starving bully goat, puke! I reckon that pride and hunger could make most anything palatable! My moms way was "eat it or don't, I don't make cereal for dinner"! I hated turnip greens, and liver and onions. Imagine my dismay when she made both for dinner! Boy, was I ready for some cereal, the next morning!!! Lol
What a good boy, bringing home dinner AND wanting to eat it! My sister loves squirrel, but we only have tiny ones out here, no big fat ones, so I haven't even bothered shooting. My Dad has a yard full of fat ones as my step mom feeds them all winter . . . she'd probably die if I shot one though, hahaha!
Bahahaha! Well he just shot two more this morning and there's one in fridge, so I guess I'll try dumplings next. These aren't as big as that one was, though. I think he killed the biggest on the farm the first time ha
Rabbit and squirrel make for some tasty vittles..... Try cooking them with rice like you would chicken or with gravy. My grandmother used to fix it like that and cook a pan of biscuits. Good stuff. Glad to see your son eating what he harvests. Does he or has he deer hunted?
My son wants dumplings next, but the rice and gravy and biscuits sounds good. He also hunts deer, turkey and rabbit. And dove and duck (some). He hunts anything he can! He got his first deer and turkey at age 7, kinda crazy. he's a really good shot and it's just his thing.
@@ThisFarmWife_ Excellent! First off and most important is teach him safety in the woods and fIrearms safety early on and you won't have to worry about him. I am sure his dad has already done this. All young men should be able to hunt and fish and be able to feed himself and his family. I have been hunting and fishing all my life. Started at about 11 years old and was mostly taught by my mother if you can believe that. She loved to hunt and fish. My dad not so much. Never knew him to fire a gun except when he was in the service. By the way never say "kill" in your videos. For some reason people get freaked out by it and youtube don't like it. Always say "harvest". You stated your age but you certainly don't look it. Your sun looks like a good hunter so you might need that extra freezer after all...........
Looked good. It's also really good if you brown it good and then finish cooking it in brown gravy, and put it over rice or just have it with some mashed potatoes. :))
🐿 is awesome. Sun is a good thing but not enough to dry the swamp around here. It’s a truck. It gets dirty. Just shows that it’s getting used. No beauty queen automobiles around this farm. Lol come on spring!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've got your beat by 25,000 miles and at least an eighth inch of dust. If you're not rollin' with at least one warning light on, then your ride isn't even broke in yet. A boy like that can go a long way with a momma that will cook his squirrel and give him encouragement.
You’ll get those rooms done ✅ Meredith 👍. That’s what we done with our son . If he bagged it we would eat it . There’s a lesson in that . Love the video
Thundering over here last night , snow the night before. Crazy weather no doubt. Good Lord y'all need to do serious grading over there. I didn't even see a ditch for the water to run off. I would push the top layer off and start a compost pile in the pasture , mix some leaves in it and throw fertilizer in it. I called the quarry over here on Berry Hill Rd. which is now open to the public. ABC / crusher run is like less than 15 dollars per ton. I'm going over there this spring and get several loads of that and 57s.. All of them animals taste like chicken didn't you know that ? 😂✌️

I kind of like thinking of it as an online album, too. :)
Your great, very pretty cooking and eating squirrel and slopping thru mud to help hubby. What more could a guy ask for.
Well probably a lot, but he doesn't complain too much. :)

So many memories with my dad, brothers, cousins hunting squirrels. Good eating and takes skill to getum.

@@ThisFarmWife_ I need to figure it out so I can get it inspected for the year...😪
Ohhh that stinks. Mine always passes 🤷🏼♀️
@@dalelewis1016 the day that all states require inspections I will start driving pre emission vehicles. Only because 90% of the vehicles out there have the check engine light on.

The check engine light is a GM thing its right of passage for driving it till the wheels fall off.
Mix about 1/8 cup of hot sauce into the milk and then fry, it's so good that way, and very happy you made gravy it makes everything better.
Hey, that's a good tip! I hope I can remember it ha
I really enjoyed Vlog 34.

Thanks sweet Noel! It's been a mess for sure. Taking it all a day at a time - and today I got more cleaning done, so yay!
Thank you for the video it brought back memories from when I was a kid seeing that step stool I had one when I was little
The best part of the squirrel is the back straps. We always boiled em, and fried em in Butter but now days, I'm gonna use the Instapot , instead of just boiling.

I grew up on fried squirrel and rabbit. We would have mashed potato's and gravy to go with it. Nothing tasted better to a house full of hungry youngsters.
You could always donate the extra things (like ornaments) to St Vincent DePauls or Goodwill.
Oh, I take it all to Salvation Army. A load is ready to go now!

I drink a lot of sweet tea and your tea starters are perfect for me. Thanks for the tip. BTW, I clean out my truck the same way 😁
Not squirrel but here's an idea that my mom learned it's fairly quick and easy. Make a skillet of Milk gravy and mix in a couple of cans of potted meat and serve over toast breakfast, lunch, or supper. Also calf liver and onions cooked in bacon grease.with rice is also great
A country boy can survive!
Was raised up hunting Squirrel , Rabbit & Groundhog and still would be eating it if i lived in the country and i always added equal parts Flour and Cornmeal for the coating and is fantastic with Gravy and smashed taters and you should be proud of your son for trying any wild game that he hasn't tried before and my hope is that there are many many more family's in our country that are instilling the values that ya'll have with yours and the one lesson my Dad tough us Boys growing up was if you are willing to shoot an Animal you better be willing to skin and eat it and we never had a problem with that because we were fairly poor growing up
Well Miss Merdy... A dusty truck reminds one of the dry times... Let it be dusty!
True! I coughed so much dust cleaning out my room today I feel like I've been walking in a dessert haha, I guess there is that
Hi 👋 instead of boiling it marinate it in butter milk overnight then batter and fry it and it will not be dry.
I like this idea! Thanks!
Thanks for the video Meredith. My wife wouldn't even let me bring the squirrel in the house, much less cook it for me. The only way she would fix it for me is if it came from an 'organic' store and she couldn't tell what it was. Thanks for being the true 'Farm Wife!'
I’d rather eat this one than an organic one 😬
My wife came home and I was cleaning one on the island in kitchen! She threw me out of house, then told me to come back and get this "thing" off her countertop!
@@bradmorgan1234 Whoops!
@@ThisFarmWife_ I'd have to say that a squirrel shot out of a tree doesn't need to be labeled 'organic' because it's truly organic!!!
40 years old
WOW
Very cold at zero and snow here so it could be more winter if you were in Montana
No thanks! That's too cold for me
We e had one of those stools for our boys to help them get up to the John.LOL
Good old memories!
Crock pot them squirrels pour broth and squirrel through strainer to get bones. Sort bones out put meat and broth back in crock pot and put in some dumplings. Tasty tasty tasty!!! (Add some chopped celery for flavor)
Thank goodness it rained again....Your mud was going to dry up...lol....we've had major flooding here in southern Ky
I don't think the squirrels here would dry up if it stopped raining for 6 months lol. Stay safe!
@@ThisFarmWife_ Think how the animals must feel out in this. We complain about all this rain yet we can stay dry. Poor little creatures are water logged
I'm so sick of rain I've been wanting to plant some food plots for turkeys and deer and cant . You had all that 80 stuff in them boxes first thing that hit me was white rain hair spray girls used back then lol. Was that a fox squirrel or grey . I was raised on fried squirrel and biscuits and gravy nothing no better and that looked so good. You did a good job cooking it to.
I think it was just a grey squirrel, but it was HUGE! :O But it was so good, too. :)
I never ate squirrel, but I guess anything can be ate when you cook it in grease, cover it in butter, or put enough chocolate over it!! I hear folks talk about how good rattle snake is!! Gonna have to take their word for It! There was a show on tv awhile back. A fellow named Bear Grylls (or something like that) would travel the world, getting himself dropped in survival situations, and eat things that would make a starving bully goat, puke! I reckon that pride and hunger could make most anything palatable! My moms way was "eat it or don't, I don't make cereal for dinner"! I hated turnip greens, and liver and onions. Imagine my dismay when she made both for dinner! Boy, was I ready for some cereal, the next morning!!! Lol
What a good boy, bringing home dinner AND wanting to eat it! My sister loves squirrel, but we only have tiny ones out here, no big fat ones, so I haven't even bothered shooting. My Dad has a yard full of fat ones as my step mom feeds them all winter . . . she'd probably die if I shot one though, hahaha!
Bahahaha! Well he just shot two more this morning and there's one in fridge, so I guess I'll try dumplings next. These aren't as big as that one was, though. I think he killed the biggest on the farm the first time ha
Rabbit and squirrel make for some tasty vittles..... Try cooking them with rice like you would chicken or with gravy. My grandmother used to fix it like that and cook a pan of biscuits. Good stuff. Glad to see your son eating what he harvests. Does he or has he deer hunted?
My son wants dumplings next, but the rice and gravy and biscuits sounds good. He also hunts deer, turkey and rabbit. And dove and duck (some). He hunts anything he can! He got his first deer and turkey at age 7, kinda crazy. he's a really good shot and it's just his thing.
@@ThisFarmWife_ Excellent! First off and most important is teach him safety in the woods and fIrearms safety early on and you won't have to worry about him. I am sure his dad has already done this. All young men should be able to hunt and fish and be able to feed himself and his family. I have been hunting and fishing all my life. Started at about 11 years old and was mostly taught by my mother if you can believe that. She loved to hunt and fish. My dad not so much. Never knew him to fire a gun except when he was in the service. By the way never say "kill" in your videos. For some reason people get freaked out by it and youtube don't like it. Always say "harvest". You stated your age but you certainly don't look it. Your sun looks like a good hunter so you might need that extra freezer after all...........
Looked good. It's also really good if you brown it good and then finish cooking it in brown gravy, and put it over rice or just have it with some mashed potatoes. :))
Oh yeah, that sounds good, too!
🐿 is awesome. Sun is a good thing but not enough to dry the swamp around here. It’s a truck. It gets dirty. Just shows that it’s getting used. No beauty queen automobiles around this farm. Lol come on spring!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, I'll second all of that. Especially the invite for spring!
I've got your beat by 25,000 miles and at least an eighth inch of dust. If you're not rollin' with at least one warning light on, then your ride isn't even broke in yet. A boy like that can go a long way with a momma that will cook his squirrel and give him encouragement.
LOL, I agree with the truck statement for sure. And thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Between E and W....on the gas gauge. Is Empty and Walk. ; ) wink wink.
You’ll get those rooms done ✅ Meredith 👍. That’s what we done with our son . If he bagged it we would eat it . There’s a lesson in that . Love the video
Thanks so much! Working on the house...and it's not fun lol
You messed up by not making gravy in the skillet after cooking the squirrel it is my favorite.
Thundering over here last night , snow the night before. Crazy weather no doubt. Good Lord y'all need to do serious grading over there. I didn't even see a ditch for the water to run off. I would push the top layer off and start a compost pile in the pasture , mix some leaves in it and throw fertilizer in it. I called the quarry over here on Berry Hill Rd. which is now open to the public. ABC / crusher run is like less than 15 dollars per ton. I'm going over there this spring and get several loads of that and 57s.. All of them animals taste like chicken didn't you know that ? 😂✌️
